Identify examples of iatrogenic problems in a medical dermatology clinic including diagnostic errors

Develop systems within the practice to reduce iatrogenic problems

Description:
Experts agree that physicians & practices make errors in a variety of circumstances, some more serious than others. This is the basis of the gap that we plan to reduce/close by using lecture, discussion, and interaction from participants to identify errors or potential errors (DIAGNOSIS) and at least one thing that can be done to reduce (TREATMENT) or prevent (PREVENTION) errors in your practice. The focus is to be practical with the intent of improving efficiency and effectiveness, ultimately improving patient outcomes. We cover cognitive and technical errors with an ultimate focus on methods to reduce both. We encourage interaction.
